Illinois law 098-0480 requires that any student entering the 12th grade and any student eligible to remain in public school beyond grade 12 must show proof of having received two doses of meningococcal conjugate vaccine. The first dose should be given on or after the 10th birthday, and the second dose should be given at least 8 weeks after the first dose, ideally after the 16th birthday. If the first dose is administered when the student is 16 years or older, only one dose is required for entry into 12th grade.

Please provide proof of vaccination compliance by September 6th, 2018. If we do not receive proof of the above requested vaccine by this date, student will be excluded from school until it is received.
